Recording techniques in the early 70s relied a lot more on a few ambient mics, especially for live work, rather than large numbers of close mics on everything. 16, 24 and especially 48 track recording was still in the future, particularly at places like the Beeb. Note there are only two mic's on the kit on that live footage - one on the kick and one overhead. Probably ribbons (likely Reslo), as you point out. I have to disagree that they are badly positioned. Yes, that wouldn't work for dynamics or even some condensers, but you don't want to put a ribbon, especially an old school one, too close. There's going to be a fair bit of spill, but the resultant mix is very good, so the engineers knew their stuff. They had to make the best of the kit and techniques of the time.

@neepheid the T6 worked a treat! I am a happy lad -
Up for sale is my much-loved and well-cared-for 1997 Warwick Corvette Standard. This beauty has been a joy to own, but it's time to let her go to fund new projects. This is one of those basses that just fits, perfectly balanced on a strap, incredibly comfortable neck, and low, buzz-free action. It sounds fantastic, with that unmistakable Warwick growl and clarity, and sits beautifully in any mix across a wide range of genres. These days she’s more of a case queen, as I haven't played much recently. As such, a basic setup and pot clean may be needed. Specs & Features Model: Warwick Corvette Standard Made in Germany – January 1997 (Serial No: A‑034719‑97) Body: Solid Bubinga with natural oiled finish Neck/Fretboard: Bolt-on Wenge neck and Wenge fretboard 24 frets 34″ scale Brass “Just-a-Nut I” adjustable nut Electronics: Passive MEC (Volume, Balance, Tone) Pickups: MEC J/J single-coil configuration Hardware & Mods Fitted with genuine Warwick black hardware (bridge, tuners, control knobs) for a sleek, professional look Original chrome hardware included in case you prefer the classic aesthetic Condition: Very Good (8–9/10) Minor cosmetic mark on the back of the body Light playwear patch between the neck and neck pickup (under the G-string) — purely aesthetic Overall very clean and well cared for Weight: Approx. 4.3–4.8 kg — typical for Bubinga/Wenge builds Included Extras Sandberg gig bag Leather strap Original Warwick locking strap buttons (fitted) Price & Collection £750 Open to reasonable offers from serious buyers. Local collection (Eastbourne, BN22) preferred. Shipping within the UK is possible at buyer's arrangement and expense — you're free to choose your courier and organise collection. I’ll make sure the bass is securely packed and ready to go. Feel free to message for more details, additional photos, or any specific queries. -
That's about as far as my knowledge goes - probably better to ask a Fender historian. I'm sure there will be quite a few around here Basically, mine is a modern iteration of a 63/64, built period correct, with the cloth wires, etc.

Same year and colour as mine. Best of luck with your sale. Tony. -
And now it isn’t 😀 Sold to @lewiswhitebass -
Does Thomann regularly make mistakes these days?

On that matter is it A Jacks or Eye Yacks. -
Are they still grounded from the pots to under the bridge as well? Or was this an earlier method before they started going through the body from under the control plate?

Got some more done last night - PI and Normal channel.

I don’t get it, personally… I’m not going to have a row with them about it…but it is mildly irksome.

Anywhere UK to get replacement guards for Reverend Mercalli? - would like to get a tort one.

This was on my board for a few years, never let me down but just fancied a change so I’ve got a boss chorus on the board now. The toneprint options make it a pretty versatile pedal, found myself mostly using the Duff McKagan toneprint. No original box for this unfortunately but will be packaged securely. Price includes postage in the UK, cheers -
On a small a small stage they’re a no no and for just 9 songs, that’s ridiculous. The ‘joy’ of all tube amps, temperamental at the most inconvenient of times.

Decorar con papel pintado beige es una excelente opción para crear ambientes cálidos, elegantes y versátiles. Aquí tienes algunas ideas para inspirarte: nn### 1. **Paredes acentuadas** - Usa papel pintado beige en una pared principal (como la cabecera de la cama o detrás del sofá) para crear un punto focal sutil y sofisticado. - Combínalo con paredes pintadas en tonos neutros como blanco, gris claro o crema para un look equilibrado. nn### 2. **Texturas y patrones** - Elige papel pintado beige con texturas sutiles (como líneas geométricas, motivos orgánicos o relieves) para añadir profundidad sin abrumar el espacio. - Los patrones discretos, como rayas o formas geométricas, pueden dar un toque moderno y dinámico. nn### 3. **Combinación con colores** - Combina el beige con tonos tierra como marrón, terracota o verde oliva para un ambiente natural y relajante. - Añade toques de color con accesorios en tonos vibrantes como azul, mostaza o coral para un contraste interesante. nn### 4. **Estilos decorativos** - **Moderno:** Usa papel pintado beige liso y combínalo con muebles de líneas limpias y materiales como metal o vidrio. - **Escandinavo:** Añade elementos de madera clara, textiles suaves y plantas para un look acogedor. - **Clásico:** Combina el beige con dorados, muebles elegantes y detalles ornamentales para un ambiente sofisticado. nn### 5. **Espacios pequeños** - El papel pintado beige es ideal para habitaciones pequeñas, ya que refleja la luz y crea una sensación de amplitud. - Usa patrones pequeños o texturas sutiles para evitar que el espacio se sienta abrumado. nn### 6. **Accesorios y decoración** - Complementa el papel pintado beige con cojines, mantas y cortinas en tonos coordinados.

It was ok. Played to sold out 150 capacity room. Local indie stalwarts ’The Notion’ retirement gig. 9 songs, then when we’d finished - got told to play on, did a bass/piano/vocal version. small stage, increasingly frustrated by the use of music stands. guitarists amp blew up…properly dead in soundcheck… fun.

It’s a great bass had since they first came out , but I bought an Atelier z 4 string and it has become the only bass I’m paying now . Thanks for the comments guys -
It's an earthing copper strip between the pickup cavity and the underside of the bridge. They had it on a lot of the early Jazzes to reduce 60 cycle hum from lighting circuits, etc.

Labella’s Chromes and Cobalts gone, Daddario NYXL and halfrounds left, found some Dunlop Flats also available -
I’d certainly bring a car full, if this gets traction then I’ll put a current inventory of my gear up closer to the time. That way if there’s something of specific interest to anyone attending I can make sure I bring it along….
-
Mmmm...... Did you use this to get your Zeller and Kolstein to sound more like their acoustic selves when amplified, or to make your Ali-Kat sound more like the other two? -
I’ve seen this on a few jazzes now but still none the wiser… what’s the line from the bridge, to the bridge pickup for?

Is the whole bass an AI mockup or just the pickups? I love the look of that!
